Norbert Davis wrote three full length novels featuring the characters of private eye Doan and Carstairs, his Great Dane sidekick—The Mouse in The Mountain (also published under the titles Rendezvous with Fear and Rich Dead Little Girl), Sally's in the Alley, and Oh, Murderer Mine. A novelette, Holocaust House, is the first story to feature the two characters, but Carstairs does not play a role in its central mystery. This Book includes Cry Murder!, a story that appears forgotten, which was published between the first two and the last novel in Flynn's magazine. The book is illustrated with images from the magazine publication.
